u dont want to make colonies in these spots because of low % of chance u will get a good field amount, it is better to get rid of colonies under163 fields early in the game and find #4 planet slot or #8 planet slots as those two are the best chances of getting a good # of fields * pos1 to 3: 80% between 40 and 70 fields (55+/-15)* pos4 to 6: 80% between 120 and 310 fields (215+/-95)* pos7 to 9: 80% between 105 and 195 fields (150+/-45)* pos10 to 12: 80% between 75 and 125 fields (100+/-25)* pos13 to 15: 80% between 60 and 190 fields (125+/-65)

ive had the best luck out of position 4 and position 8 for max number of fields.. and if u get a colony with a low # you arebest off deleting it and sending another colony ship elsewhere
